Medusa the world's largest snake

She weighs more than 136kg, is 7.6m long and it takes 15 people to hold her. Now Medusa is set to slither into the record books as the world's largest snake living in captivity, according to the Daily Mail Friday. The massive python, which will be on display at the Edge of Hell haunted house attraction in Kansas City, eats a 18kg animal about once a week but could easily eat something weighing more than 45kg, the newspaper said. Medusa's trainer Larry Elgar was quoted by the Mail as telling NBC Action News he isn't intimidated by the monster python. He said, “They've actually cut people out of them, they are man eaters. “Fear is just a lack of understanding. I have no fear. I understand that she can kill me. I've been wrapped up and put unconscious by a reticulated python that was only 18 feet long. “I understand the repercussions, but that's no reason to fear. That car you drove in has killed more people than anything else in the world. But you're not scared when you put your keys in it, are you?” Edgar said he bought the seven-year-old snake as a baby and she's still growing, according to the Mail.
